Configuration

There is a BIOS update (v207) on Asus support website (go to the english one if you don't find) that fix the numpad bug.

CPU

Works out of the box.

Follow the CPU Frequency Scaling guide to enable speed-stepping.
Processor has Intel Turbo Boost which works out of the box, but you can't see the frequencies above 2.4GHz in /proc/cpuinfo. To see the actual frequency installi7z.

Intel

Follow these guides: Xorg and Intel.
You will need to blacklist the nouveau driver (the kernel detects the nvidia card and loads it). Bumblebee will load it as needed, see next section.

#File: "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf".
blacklist nouveau

Nvidia

The official proprietary nvidia drivers for linux do not support Nvidia Optimus yet, but there is a workaround in the form of Template:Package AUR.
It enables the use of Nvidia graphic card via virtualgl. Just follow the instructions for setting up bumblebee in our wiki.

Bumblebee does not include power management features, you can turn it on installing Template:Package AUR, and enabling bbswitch module in /etc/rc.conf.
